Excellent book to continue learning Japanese. This book is for someone with intermediate level japanese proficiency. It’s colorful and fun and uses real life language instead of made up phrases you never will actually use in life! It would have been helpful if all the kanji had readings above. 
As a person having a degree in Japanese this book is great. I love to learn language in the language I’m learning. It does make for a more challenging learning experience but it stretches your mind. This book is not for a beginner. But it is a great book to further your Japanese study. I would recommend it.

I'm very much a beginner in Japanese, and this book was too advanced for me. The illustrations and layout were great however, and if you're intermediate level I think this would be perfect for you,

This is not a book for beginner or even early intermediate. I really can't review on the content since I'm a beginner and the whole book is mostly in Japanese.

I think the layout of this book makes sense, and would be a good book for someone who has a rudimentary understanding of the Japanese language to begin with. I have friends who are living in Japan and thought this book would be a good way to familiarize myself some of the language and culture before we go to visit them. I was lost in trying to understand the book. I also had problems accessing it on my computer, which didn’t help my frustration level. I think this book would be a wonderful asset for someone, like my friends, who have traveled there to live and are immersed in the language and culture. #netgalley #Let’stalkintravelingJapanese #goodreads

I misunderstood this book, and from the cover I thought it would have both English and Japanese translations. It definitely does in some areas of the book, but generally just to explain unique expressions or grammar.

This is a very similar (but updated) version of the textbooks I used when I studied Japanese. With cute illustrations and places to write. This isn't a style I enjoy studying with, as the books always seem to lovely to write in.

I liked that along with language it discussed customs, food and specific locations to visit in areas of Japan.
Definitely a useful book if you have been studying Japanese for some time and are planning a trip. Too advanced for beginners, and not useful enough for anyone fluent. A great middle ground book though, with answers provided at the back.

I really really looking forward to this. One of my favorite subjects. Sadly my tablet wouldn't let it load.

I selected this for my daughter to check out, as she wants to LEARN Japanese, but unfortunately there is NO English direction, so there is  literally NOWAY to use this workbook, even with the Youtube channels (which are also ALL IN JAPANESE). The synopsis on the book is VERY misleading. It should state in the FIRST sentence, ALL IN JAPANESE.  From a workbook perspective, it looks like the graphics would appeal to older teens and kids, but hard to tell, as I cant READ Japanese.

Note: Because there is no way to review the book, as I cant READ Japanese, I did not share with my blog readers, with a blog post.

I'm a bit confused who this book is designed for as reading the description it sounded like I was going to learn Japanese practical for travel. Unfortunately the whole book is written in Japanese so without being able to understand and read the language you don't get anything out of this book. The added extras like VR etc aren't included with the ARC copy so I'm not sure how they would help.

As a student of US college level Japanese, I love this book. It provides the grammar explanations and colloquial usages which are hard to find in American language learning materials. I will be buying a copy of this book for my own personal collection of study materials. This intermediate level book fills a need in the American market which caters mainly to the beginner self-lead student of Japanese.  This is definitely a book for the beginner-intermediate learner. The book is written mainly in Japanese with firigana to assist with unfamiliar kanji.  English is used to help explain grammar and usage. The phrases and situations in the book are  useful for traveling in Japan while assisting the learner to achieve a more conversational voice,

At first, I thought it was going a mixture of Japanese and English explanations, but it's all in Japanese... I'm not sure if this is a starter Japanese book, but it maybe with all the media support this can be easier than it seems.
I loved the clean leasons and the illustrations 
I'm sure that this can be an excellent and helpful book to learn the language.

I will not review the content since my Japan is not that advance. But you still can learn from this book, because they provide you with katakana and hiragana. I like the illustrations in this book. It has manga style. If you are a beginner maybe you want to find another book that has romanization.

First off, anyone reading this review should be aware that I've been studying Japanese for 30 years, so I'm certain that I'm not the intended audience for this book. That being said, I'm a bit perplexed about who the intended audience is. Topic-wise, it's an intro-level book. On the other hand, based on language skills, especially reading & writing, it assumes at least some familiarity with Japanese already. The majority of the text is in Japanese.

You definitely already need to know hiragana and katakana to use this, and quite a bit of kanji wouldn't hurt, either. Some sections are very carefully annotated with furigana (reading guides) so that you can read the words even if you don't know the kanji. Unfortunately, other sections may be lacking furigana entirely, so if you don't know the kanji, you're tough out of luck. So going entirely on the language skills you need to be able to read and use this book, I'd estimate it's for someone with at least 1 year of (American) university-level Japanese courses under their belt.

Each chapter is loosely task-based and follows the adventures of two foreigners visiting Japan. Every chapter starts out with a dialogue between characters, then has a section of explanatory information, which may be grammar points or cultural information (such as the right way to rinse your hands when you visit a Shinto shrine). This is followed by several pages of exercises. 

The layout and graphic design are excellent. You may not think that's important, but it can help guide a learner in very helpful ways.

Overall, I think this is a helpful book for intermediate Japanese learners who are either using this in a classroom setting or who don't mind figuring things out for themselves if the Japanese-only explanations are above their heads. If you're an absolute beginner to Japanese language study, though, save this one for later.

I know absolutely no Japanese, so this book, written entirely in Japanese, was not helpful. I am planning a trip to Japan but I will have to get help from someone who knows Japanese to see if this is helpful at all.

It is pretty and seems well laid-out.

I received a free ARC as a reviewer for NetGalley.

This was a super fun read! I've always been into the Japanese culture. Its a fantastic read, fun and refreshing. I've always enjoyed reading about how different and wonderful and beautiful every culture in the world is.

This book is great if you already know some basic Japanese (Involving Hiragana , Katakana and at least some Kanji) The book is great as a workbook and textbook as it provides explanations and cute examples of certain grammar and speech topics. It provides a good amount of activities as well to practice and I really enjoyed their comic approach throughout the book with the two main characters struggling to learn Japanese and eventually mastering it, showing that anyone can learn this language!

However, I would not recommend this book for those just stepping into Japanese as the kanji makes it difficult to follow and I believe this book should be considered intermediate level.

This book has a beautiful playful comic book style to the pictures. Full of bright colors and a lovely layout. Very beautiful book.

I just reviewed Let's Talk in Traveling Japanese by Nihongo Inc (Author), Iroriko (Illustrator). #LetstalkintravelingJapanese #NetGalley

Thank you NetGalley for providing this book. Unfortunately it can't be downloaded properly on my computer, and apparently it's all in japanese.

Wow. This book was very unhelpful. It's all written in Japanese! I thought it was going to teach me how to speak Japanese. Not for me at all. The advance didn't have the QR codes so I could see the VR videos that the description talks about. Looked so promising but I have no use for it.

This book has unique interactive features not normally found in language learning texts. I think this book would be a great supplement for English speakers that are enrolled in a college level Japanese course because no instructions or guidelines are in English, but provides great opportunities for practice reading, listening, and writing the language.

This book is beautifully illustrated, and has clear graphics and charts for Japanese learners. HOWEVER, this book does not contain English translations and therefore it would be better to have a Japanese teacher or tutor go through the book with you. I'm at an intermediate level and am very excited to go through it, but I am definitely going to need to source outside help to fully benefit from it.
